KICKIN' RANCH PASTA WITH MEATBALLS #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry I love this recipe because it is family friendly, plus kids love pasta and meatballs. I also love Italian food and using Ranch in my recipe kicked it up a notch. I created this recipe for my family to enjoy. *Tip, powdered Parmesan works best for this recipe because it melts better in the sauce.
